I have a question about skills ( dex, str, etc ).

[Bleezar]

I'm curious. When playing a class , monk for example, what does dexterity and agility do? I've read Agility helps you not get hit , while Dexterity can affect how often you hit something. Is any of this true?

I just feel like I hardly ever hit the mob I'm attacking with my monk and I wanted to know if me not having any dex gear would be the reason why.
